Discover how to choose multifocal contact lenses that fit your budget. Compare the best options to save money while enjoying clear vision and great comfort.

Wondering how to keep clear vision at all distances without exceeding your budget? Multifocal contact lenses are a practical solution for correcting presbyopia, but their cost can vary significantly. In this article, we'll explore the different options available, helping you find the best option for your visual needs and budget.

Please note that all prices and advice provided in this article may vary based on the model, type, and brand of lenses you choose.

There are three types of lenses: daily, monthly, and bi-weekly lenses. All have different features regarding their period of use, which can significantly impact your budget.

Daily multifocal lenses are generally the most expensive eventually, with an average annual cost between CHF 800 and CHF 1,000. The high cost is due to the need to change lenses daily, increasing the number of boxes purchased annually. However, they offer maximum hygiene and convenience, which justifies their higher price for many customers.

In comparison, monthly multifocal lenses (to be replaced monthly) tend to be the most economical solution, with an average annual budget between CHF 200 and CHF 400. They are the perfect solution for smaller budgets.

Bi-weekly multifocal lenses (to be replaced every 2 weeks) offer a good compromise, with an average annual budget cost between CHF 400 and CHF 500. They are ideal if you prefer to replace your lenses more frequently without having to dispose of them daily.

Contact lenses are made from different materials, which can impact the price.

 

• Soft vs. rigid lenses: Soft contact lenses are popular for their comfort, such as the 1 Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal or the PureVision 2 for Presbyopia. They are a good compromise for your wallet, unlike rigid contact lenses. Rigid lenses require a higher initial investment but are more cost-effective in the long run due to their superior durability.

• Hydrogel vs. silicone hydrogel lenses: Silicone hydrogel lenses, such as Biofinity Multifocal N or Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal, offer better oxygenation for the eyes, which can improve comfort. However, this also explains why these lenses are more expensive than standard hydrogel lenses, such as Proclear Multifocal N or SofLens Multi-Focal.

• Check the reimbursement options offered by your insurance: Some health insurances cover part or all the costs. It is important to review the terms of your insurance policy to see if you are eligible for reimbursement.

 

With all this information in mind, you can now choose the pair of multifocal contact lenses that best suits your visual and financial needs.
